In reply to Todd Cary. Sure its bigger, but thats an issue these days. However if you save as a Tif with LZW compression it will be smaller

In reply to Ned Martin. You can save it however you would save a regular image

How do you save the image ? As a JPG, Tif, PSD, Raw or what ? Do I just do a plain SAVE or a Save As ?
Enjoyed your tutorial, thanks Ned

This is the best tutorial I have seen – Thank You! I have one question about the final file size: the Smart Object is made up of all of the layers and unless I missing something, that can be a BIG file. What is the best way to reduce the file size? Thank you, Todd

So glad I found your tutorial. Thanks a million. No need to go out and buy additional stacking software.

When I stack the images, I cannot edit the resulting masks? I want to granularly edit the results and if I select a mask, I cannot paint anything out or in?? Why is this?

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been having problems with this process. After blending the images, I always get a weird x-ray image instead of the composite image I’m expecting. Any idea, what I am doing wrong?

Yaffe, the screen capture in step 4 is just showing the “Crop Preview” hence the one layer showing in Layer Panel
